GtkTextView all caps tag

[Paolo Costabel <paolo jailedgames com>]

Hi,

I'm developing a script writing  application that uses GtkTextView. I 
need to implement an all caps style, but unfortunately none of the 
available Pango style tags support displaying the text all caps. I could 
just convert the text to upper case before inserting it, but then I'd  
lose the original formatting, so if I want to switch the all caps style 
off, I'm in trouble. I guess I could keep a copy of the original text 
somewhere, but it is a pain to keep it in sync with the displayed 
version. Is there a way to add custom tags to Pango?  I looked at the 
code and I couldn't find any hook to do this. Is there any other place 
where I could insert my own filter to convert text to upper case before 
it is displayed?

Thanks,

Paolo
